Final Table Profiles: Seat 6 - Barry Forrester (Sydney, Australia) | 2009 PokerStars.net APPT Sydney Grand Final

Barry Forrester quietly picked his way through the day three field to earn a slot at the final table where he’ll begin the day sixth in chips with 1,087,000. This 63-year-old from Mooroopna, NSW is a retired father-of-one, whose son watches dad’s progress from a photo in his card protector. Forrester is a former professional blackjack player and only started playing poker two years ago. Most recently, he final-tabled the $2,700 High Stakes event at the Joe Hachem Deep Stack Series in March 2009.

“I’ve been a gambler all my life and I’ll gamble some more if I win this tournament,” he said.
